China’s President Xi Jinping wants to shape the world in his communist party’s image, as a place where citizens serve the state, and where the state serves itself.
These days they’ll throw you in prison if you say you’re not Chinese
I mean… I get what he was going for but WOW what a NOTHING article! Really, just awful sensationalist bullshit lmao, we don’t have to pretend that we are in imminent danger to talk about overreach of power on the world stage.
Yep we need to wake up and get our supply chains out of China faster
China is not the external government harming Scotland

We’re quite accustomed to an overbearing centralised government controlling the message, thanks.
Okay, China likes to throw it’s weight around. The article fails to say why Scotland is in such a particular threat. Lots of talk about Taiwan and Lithuania and the Solomon Islands, and some stuff about the UK’s handover of Hong Kong. But nothing specific to Scotland.

Typical propaganda piece. Articles like this are designed to invoke a herd mentality so we all nicely nod along when ‘our side’ decides that it has to implement another boycott that will make our lives much more expensive.
This article is both shocking and concerning, but not in the way the writer means it to be.
